I never said, nor inferred that Moore was a marxist. As a matter of fact, I said just the opposite. He quit the organization he founded because it was taken over by marxists. Now, you can choose to ignore him, to disbelieve him, or anything else. But, putting words into my posts isn't going to change that. And if you believe marxists no longer exist in the world, you're living with your head in the sand. Greenpeace is a worldwide organization, not an American only organization. So, the overall goals of the organization, can be completely different from the goals of individual American participants. No, capitalism doesn't equal selfishness and waste. Capitalism has created wealth, which in turn has created the environment around which our world's ecosystem can be protected. The most destructive of nations towards the environment are marxist nations. The stories which came to light out of Bulgaria, and the Soviet Union after the fall of the Berlin wall would never have been allowed in a free country like America. Freedom and liberty is the best protector of the environment. When you own the land, you become better stewards of the land. When the state owns the land, few will protect its long term interests. This is the second time you've posted all these horrific innuendo's regarding Bush and Cheney toward the environment. Yet, not once have you articulated the reasons why. Posting a bunch of platitudes and innuendo's that Cheney is owned by big oil and destroying the environment, is about all Democrats can do I suppose. I doubt you actually speak to many Republicans. Because the ones I speak to are sick and tired of these radical eco-socialistic groups preventing real solutions to environmental problems from taking root. Going back to huts and the stone age is not the answer to our long term global environmental problems. Neither is moving factories which send pollution into the atmosphere offshore to third world countries, (such as what would happen under the terms of the Kyoto Protocols). Finding common sense solutions, which balance the interests of the environment, with business is. Bush and Cheney are taking us down this road. The first important step has been made. Denouncing the Kyoto Protocols for what they were, nothing but a global environmental redistribution plan. Lastly, regarding campaign finance reform. You better talk to Democrat congresspeople like Gephard and Dashle, it looks like they're going to be the biggest defenders of the status quo.
